With two games left of cricket's County Championship, three teams are separated by only five points vying to be the champion team of 2026.

Somerset, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire enter the final straight all with realistic hopes of holding the trophy on Sunday, 27 September.

None of the sides play each other, so attention will have to be spread across six matches in the final two rounds to see who comes out on top when the music stops.

Throw in bonus points, and those imponderables of possible rain and bad light - and even the toss of a coin - and it's impossible to work out quite where this title race is going to go.
